|
|
From the gentoo-dev list:
Quote: | I just marked 2.0.53 stable on x86. See
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108082 for details. You can check the various dependencies of this bug for the bug fixes that went into this release. This release includes at least one new program.
pena jamvm # emaint --help
usage: emaint [options] all | world
Currently emaint can only check and fix problems with one's world file. Future versions will integrate other portage check-and-fix tools and provide a single interface to system health checks.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c, --check check for problems
-f, --fix attempt to fix problems

Petteri Räty (Betelgeuse)

And is the slowness of portage syncing already fixed, with a new algorithm? _________________ MOBO: Maximus II Gene

Tell me what is wrong with this:
--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.unmask: >=dev-db/mysql-4.1*
--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.unmask: >=mail-mta/postfix-2.2*
It used to work with the older versions..
And what must I change or is it a bug ?
Thanks in advance

Here is the explanation from Feedback wanted: portage config validator
Quote: | >=foo-1* doesn't create any problems yet, but it's kind of a contradiction:
- >= means use this version or any version greater than it
- * means use any version that starts with this prefix (simplified, it's a bit more restricted)
so if you have >=foo-1*, would it match foo-2.1 ? If you say yes then you don't need the *, if you say no you want =, not >=. That's why we decided it is invalid. |

I'm not sure if it's supposed to work this way, but when I do
Code: | emerge -Duvat world |
I get prompted to do a Code: | emaint --check world | and it complains Code: | Checking world for problems
'sys-boot/grub' has no ebuilds available
'app-admin/syslog-ng' has no ebuilds available
Finished |
and my Code: | /etc/portage/package.keywords | looks like Code: | sys-boot/grub ~amd64
app-admin/syslog-ng ~amd64
|
Hence, keyworded packages are not supported, or am I doing something wrong? _________________ - Never argue with an idiot. They just drag you down to your level and beat you with experience.

It seems that the new Portage is complaining, if packages previously in "stable" have been moved to "testing" or something similar. Running "emaint" should fix all the complaints. |

let me guess - are symlinks fixed, or does this version of portage require the user to apply a patch in order to be able to compile glibc 2.3.6? _________________ .

simply removes the packages from world. Not quite what I wanted...
Desired would be for them to be 'accepted' into world when I unmask them imho.
Is this intentional? Am I lost about this? _________________ - Never argue with an idiot. They just drag you down to your level and beat you with experience.

One of the packages showing up as gone when I do the emaint -c world is divx4linux. It is also now missing as a use flag in /usr/portage/profiles/use.* but my mplayer install depends on it. Is this not needed anymore or covered by something else? _________________ "Blessed is he who finds happiness in his own foolishness, for he will always be happy". |

I'm having some difficulties with this new version. For some reason, eveything I setup in package.keywords, and other package.* files is an "invalid atom", or whatever.
For instance, how do I tell portage I want to emerge vanilla-sources-2.6.13.4 (even though it's marked ~testing and it's not the latest one) ? |

Thanks, that did it, of course. I didn't notice I had invalid package syntax in package.keywords.
My mistake. |

Yikes! I had all HELL break loose when I emerged the new version of portage onto an older box. The pretend emerge showed 2 packages being updated: pax-utils and portage. Much to my amazement the emerge.log shows that after emerging portage four ebuilds were purged: man-pages, zlib, grep, and bash.
Now the box is totally b0rked and I'm looking for 586 rescue binaries... _________________ .

Since Code: | >=app-emulation/vmware-workstation-5.0* | is now deprecated, how would I go about masking all vmware-workstation packages version 5.0 and greater? Normally I would mask the the oldest of the version 5.0 packages, however, every time a new revision of vmware-workstation is released, the older ones are removed. For example, currently I could do Code: | >=app-emulation/vmware-workstation-5.0.0.13124-r5 | But when -r6 comes out, -r5 will be removed from portage. _________________ A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man displays folly. - Proverbs 14:29 |

Excellent, I didn't know you could put in a version number that doesn't exist. So the asterisk is simply unnecessary, the desired behavior occurs by just taking it out. Out of curiosity, when was that behavior marked deprecated, and was there any notice (other than emerge notes)?
UncleOwen wrote: | So what? |
If the method that you described above did not work, you would have to put in actual package versions (ie.: 5.0.0.13124-r5). But if that package does not exist, portage will not know to mask anything. Of course, that situation is now irrelevant. _________________ A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man displays folly. - Proverbs 14:29 |

Did you run emerge --update --newuse --deep world before? If yes, try to find out what requires those ebuilds with emerge -pvut world.
Btw, i never used emerge -aquvDN world myself, what sense would --newuse and --upgrade at the same time have? _________________ Dinosaur week! (Ok, this thread is so last week) |
